CNN Poll Reveals Landslide Expectation for Trump Win in 2020
By Ben Marquis
To watch CNN’s incessantly negative coverage of President Donald Trump, one would think the president has absolutely no chance whatsoever of winning re-election in 2020.
Yet a newly released CNN poll shows that a majority of Americans believe Trump is on track to do exactly that: Win re-election and remain in the White House for another four-year term.
The poll, the results of which were posted Wednesday, was conducted for CNN by independent research company SSRS and queried more than 1,000 respondents between May 28-31 on a host of issues related to Trump.
One question asked respondents to provide their “best guess” as to whether Trump would win re-election or not.
A whopping fifty-four percent of those polled said they believed he would win, while 41 percent said they thought he would lose and 5 percent offered no opinion either way.

That’s a rather remarkable number, and if it were to hold true and translate into actual votes come Election Day in 2020, Trump could win his second term in an electoral “landslide.”
Making that number even more remarkable is the fact that it’s almost a complete reversal from the results obtained by the same polling firm with the same question in December 2018.
At the time, just 43 percent of respondents said they believed Trump would win, and 51 percent said they believed he would lose.
As much consternation as the Trump re-election question likely gave the folks at CNN, they were probably irked even more by the fact that Trump performed better on this question than former President Barack Obama did in May 2011.
Eight years ago, only 50 percent of respondents believed Obama would win, while 44 percent believed he would lose and 6 percent offered no opinion. As we obviously all know, Obama won re-election in 2012.
One probable reason for this stunning result in a CNN poll about Trump’s re-election chances is that, despite the network’s terribly biased coverage of the president, the incredible state of the nation’s economy has managed to override the incessant negativity and constant yapping of talking heads.
Asked to rate the nation’s current economic state, 70 percent of respondents in the CNN poll said the economy was either “very” or “somewhat” good, while only 29 percent rated it as “somewhat” or “very” poor.
